I have finally got around to finalizing the install of the OEM RSE system for my 2016 Silverado HD. This was the only option that I wanted that my pickup did not come with so I am extremely happy this is done and so is my son! I would like to give a BIG THANKS to Anthony and John at MVI (www.gm-navigation.com) as they are extremely knowledgeable and their customer service is top notch. I purchased MVI's in-dash Blu-ray and RSE kits along with the unlocked HMI module and added their HDMI input and third brake lamp camera with switch. The unlocked HMI is definitely worth the money over a Lockpick as you have full control while in motion and don’t have to worry about the Lockpick failing as I had 2 of 2 fail in my old 2010 Silverado. MVI supplied most of the parts though I did source a few parts from the dealer as I did vary a little from MVI's kit as I wanted the RSE controls in the center console which their current kit does not yet have but was told it is on their to-do list with many other projects. Their HDMI kit requires the RSE controls as you tap into those inputs. I removed one of the cigar lighter outlets in the front of the center console and mounted the HDMI input there. If you stick to their kit, the install is fairly simple IF you have a sunroof. Once again, MVI offers great customer service in case you do run into any glitches. They are also a vendor on here as well if you did not know. NOTE: ***NON-SUNROOF VEHICLES*** You do need a new headliner if you don't have a sunroof as you need the mounting bracket for the screen which offsets the screen from of the original position of the overhead dome lamp leaving ts existing hole exposed. On sunroof vehicles, the dome lamp and screen use the sunroof frame to mount to and you just enlarge the existing dome lamp hole.

My wife wants me to add a DVD player to my truck but I can't really find a solution that I like other than adding a factory fold down to the headliner. Here's the link to the new ones that are coming in the 2015 Tahoes, etc. http://www.gmpartsdirect.co/chevrolet/tahoe/22966134/2015-year/ltz-trim/5-3l-v8-flex-engine/electrical-cat/entertainment-system-components-scat/?part_name=dvd-unit What would be required to add one of the factory fold down units other than the unit itself? It's not self contained is it? It is listed as "DVD UNIT" so I didn't know if it had the player/dvd drive built in. Would I need the factory radio to be able to play DVDs? What kind of input is on the fold down monitor? Would I need to replace the radio I have with the radio that has the rear DVD option, i.e. the ones in the Tahoes? I've searched and searched and can't find the answers. Hoping someone has some info on this. *I don't really want the headrest ones *I don't want the "just use an iPad" answer lol Thanks in advance EDIT - I put the wrong part number in the topic. here is the correct number GM #22966134
